I have been fortunate to be blessed with a family to share life with and a merciful, loving God to light the way.

I never knew depression would destroy my life.
I was always energetic and hopeful.
I have had periods of remission, but the dark night of the soul creeps up.
It gives me compassion for others who live with this.

It feels like it would be easy to breathe 🦋

The movement of air and wind outside.

Breathing and being present

Resting in the Lord and his love. Joining positive and worthy intentions to those of the Saints.
Being joyful!

That one thing. Looking to inner wisdom and not the world.
The need to draw closer to God. Getting adequate rest.

not feeling “trapped”
exercise, doing spiritual practice in the morning, being outside, enough alone time

Breathing, using the word “love” as a mantra.
I long to draw close to God again … the beauty of the outdoors and the elegance of God’s intelligent design.

Being outside and feeling a breeze, breath, silence, watching my husband play with the grandchildren.

It seems as the stumbling blocks I have today linger. I would like to acknowledge them and walk on to my life.

Trying to figure out what to do with my work-life. I burned out of a stressful field after 25 years. The $$ is good, but my mental health is not. I am in my mid-50s and have felt lost for a while. Praying for guidance from above.

I can listen to my inner wisdom …

Taking time, acknowledging boundaries, treating my body with love and respect.

I feel like this is an inconsistent practice for me. I am blessed and grateful to be here this morning.
Today, I begin this day with intentions to breathe, hold love and gratefulness in my heart🦋💙🙏

Being here to practice celebrating the smallest blessing brings Joy.

Hope matters to me at the moment, and trust that we are exactly where we are supposed to be right now.

A lot of your response resonates with me. Somehow in the “busy” of the last 30 years, I lost my self. In this fast paced world, I forgot/was no longer able to hear my own wise voice 🦋

such a difficult situation, praying you find resources to help during this time <3

Joining you in this affirmation Javier. I have been unfulfilled in my former work … inviting new life <3
